System and Method for Individualizing Messages

Abstract

A system and method for individualizing messages. The system includes a mobile device in wireless communication with a telecommunications network, wherein the mobile device includes a memory having a logic thereon. The logic initiates the method, wherein the method includes creating a subset of callers from a set of possible callers, assigning an identifier to the subset of callers, creating a conditional response associated with the identifier, and executing the conditional response. The conditional responses include playing a voicemail message associated with the identifier when a caller from the subset of callers associated with the identifier is directed to leave a voicemail, adding a signature associated with the identifier to a text message from the caller, or replying to the text message with a pre-determined message when a text message is received during a designated special status period.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 512,274 filed on May 30, 2017. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a system and method for individualizing messages. Specifically, it relates to a system and method for creating subsets of callers such that each subset of callers receives a different voicemail or text message response.[0003]Many people set up voicemail systems to greet callers and request that a message be left, however current phone systems only allow a user to associate a single outgoing voicemail message per account. This results in every caller hearing the same outgoing voicemail message, no matter the relationship the caller has with the phone owner. This presents an issue for users who receive both casual and professional calls on a sing...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is for a system and method that allows a mobile device to individualize messages for specific callers. By creating a subset of callers and assigning an identifier to them, the system can play a pre-recoded voicemail message when a caller from that subset calls. The method also allows for adding signatures to text messages and personalizing them with a special status message when the mobile device is in special mode. Overall, this technology makes it convenient for users to leave and receive voicemail messages from specific callers.

Problems solved by technology

This presents an issue for users who receive both casual and professional calls on a single phone, as the outgoing voicemail message can be either too formal or too casual for the particular caller.
